Samira

Detailed Tips

1. 01

   Level 1 E Start - Try to cheese PTA proc or Conq with E1 > 3 auto's > disengage with E2.

2. 02

   Play For Level 2/3 Kill Angle - Once you chunk out Samira you're most likely able to kill her with your W, Dash or Flash up. Look to shove the wave around your kill timer, so you're able to make Samira lose a lot more.

3. 03

   Respect Samira Max Stacks - Samira’s power usually comes from reaching her S grade, which is her passive stacks in the form of grades. When obtaining a stack she is able to obtain additional movement speed increasing from every stack, as well as obtaining the ability to use her R. Her passive doesn’t really pose a threat towards Renekton, however it should be noted that later on in the game this does become an issue within team fights. Try to play around her passive, and eventually look to counter her R with your W.

4. 04

   Abuse Renekton's Early Game - In this match up Renekton is essentially able to do whatever he simply wants. With that said, really hone into your strong early to mid game strengths to help you dominate and win the game. Play to deny your enemy of gold and xp, play to proxy and generally lead any top side skirmishes with your insane lane advantage.

5. 05

   Play Wave On Your Side - Playing the wave on your side essentially means playing wave states on your side of the map, via abusing wave manipulation tactics or freezing on your side of the map. Simply use this to help you combo on your laner, taking away any space from them being able to trade you back (This also helps prevent the enemy running you down with their extended or sustained movement speed abilities). You can also use this wave state to run down your opponent with your abilities up, helping you obtain kills a lot easier vs stalemate or ranged match ups. Look to do this when your opponents are below 50% HP, or potentially make a mistake to provide you an all in opportunity to run them down.

6. 06

   Heavy Trades - Being that Renekton carries a lot of high damage, Renekton is able to just jump on his target nearly at will. Whenever your laners present you with the ability to jump on them, simply take the opportunity to burst them as much as you can. If you didn't kill them already from that, use your options of freezing or your tower diving ability to help you finish off your opponent.

7. 07

   Avoid And Punish Samira R - Samira R can be an absolutely game changing ability if she reaches her stacks, as well as chain killing your team with her E and R. As Renekton, dealing with Samira R is the same as dealing with a Katarina R, in the way that we hold our W and look to prep our stun as soon as she activates her R. Doing this will completely counter her ability to play the game, so make sure to always hold W within fights unless you have the window to one shot her before she uses R.

8. 08

   Build Eclipse, Stridebreaker or Profane - Go Eclipse for consistent power through mid game and damage mitigation with the shield. / Go Stridebreaker to cripple Samira’s mobility and provide teammates with additional utility. / Go Profane for full damage focused playstyles.

9. 09

   Mid Game + Teamfighting Tips - As previously mentioned, Samira’s only claim to fame to winning games is looking for skirmishes or teamfights, in the hopes of trying to get a mass value R to win the game. As Renekton nothing really changes in the fact we still hold our W for her, providing her negative plays in the process. Being that Renekton completely dominates Samira all game long, he can essentially use his lead to easily obtain any objective or tower within the process.
